Faye l`Abbesse Holiday Home in Poitou-Charentes, Deux-Sevres, France Reviews

La Belle Echapee was a wonderful find. We wanted rural tranquility and it certainly fitted the bill - surrounded by miles of rolling countryside, yet still with good roadlinks to the area's attractions. The accommodation was even better 'in the flesh' than the photos suggested - scrupulously clean and well appointed, with many leisure activities provided for (bikes,swimming pool, badminton, table-tennis etc). There was even a monster BBQ available for our sole use - and many evenings were spent grilling and frying local produce (including Graham's free range eggs - delicious!). Graham and Diana were exemplary hosts - making us feel welcome in their home, but never intruding into our space - instinctively knowing when their assistance was required (Graham even came out to rescue me when I got lost whilst out running!)....

If you're looking for thrills aplenty go elsewhere, but if (like us) you want somewhere to undo all those knots that have got tied in your rope during the year, La Belle Echappee could be your ideal holiday.
